DAY 1️⃣

Yesterday we kicked off our final week of summer schemes for 2026 which took us to Ballintoy for coasteering with our lovely teens group. We also squeezed in a visit to the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede 🪨🌊

Huge thanks to the guys at Coasteering NI for facilitating us yesterday and for being so Deaf aware. Our young people absolutely LOVED the experience!

🎊 PLAY PACK (4-9) SUMMER SCHEME 🎊

DAY 5️⃣

What a fun final day of summer scheme for our 4-9 year olds at the Ark Farm!

It has been a pleasure to have so many lovely children join us this week. Lots of new experiences and many new friendships made - deaf children definitely need spaces like this to just be. Thank you to all parents for sending your children this week, especially with lots of early morning starts and late pick ups.

A weekend of rest then our final summer scheme this year kicks off on Monday 10th August; this time it's the turn of our teens 🥳

Today it was the turn of the 4-9 year olds to head to Strangford Lough Activity Centre for a morning of outdoor activities.

We scaled the climbing wall 🧗, enjoyed sticky archery 🏹, and did some marine biology with Gavin and Anna, marine biologists from Queen's University, then we stopped at Indianaland for soft play en route back to ADY.

Many thanks Rory, Christine and Patrick for a fantastic day 🙂
